It's back at this low price. Not bad for a 12th gen i3 with 8GB ram.


The IdeaPad Flex 5i is as flexible as your day. Its 360-degree hinge lets you write an essay in laptop mode, then flip it to tent mode to watch movies once you've hit ‘submit'. The WUXGA IPS touchscreen is a bit wider than Full HD, giving you a bigger view when you're working between multiple Windows. And it's all powered by a 12th gen Intel® Core™ i3 processor, so you can run all your daily tasks without being slowed down.

    Seems like a decent spec for the money. Would be a perfectly capable office work/browsing/media consumption PC. I'm surprised it's not a bit lighter (1.5kg) given the pared-back specs, but the 2-in-1 functionality is a bonus (shame it doesn't come bundled with a stylus). It also has WiFi 6 and BT 5.2, and a surprisingly good port selection: TB4, HMDI (albeit 1.4 spec), 2 x USB-A ports, 3.55m headphone jack and an SD reader. The major letdown appears to be the tiny 128GB and more unusual form factor (2242) SSD. That said, seems it also has a 2280 slot so you could add one there, or you could even just buy a large capacity SD/microSD card, leave it in the port and have that as your media/document storage. Though the battery is only (I think) 52Wh, that processor would probably sip it as it only has two P cores boosting up to 4.4GHz, so I'd guess the battery life is pretty good though can't be certain. One thing I don't know is whether you can easily switch it out of Windows S mode and into regular Windows. You used to be able to and would probably want to if you can!

    Supports 512GB M.2 2280 so that shouldn't be a downside.
    I was just about to post the HP at the same price, very similar specs but not foldable like the Lenovo.

    Ticks a lot of boxes but I tried the i3-1215U in a similar specced touch screen HP Pavillion 14 and it ran way too hot... around 50c idle and could easily hit 80-90c when pushed. Underside was too hot to sit it on your lap and the fans were pretty noisy as well. Also got really hot while charging! It's a shame as the performance was really good - equivellent to an 11th Gen i5 if not a bit faster! (edited)
